NORTH PLATTE, NEB - The August 15th North Platte City Council meeting has officially come and gone and there were different discussion points from the meeting. From the latest city council meeting, there were different agenda the council talked about. A few of the different agenda topics were 4 grant applications, a quality growth fund for 2 new business, interlocal agreements for 911 services and resource officers in schools were just a few from the agenda list. 

A big part of the meeting was requesting permission from the council to apply for 4 different grants. "The initial 4 were applications to the federal government, 4 grants in millions I think total amount was $70 million or so we are requesting," said North Platte Mayor Brandon Kelliher. "It's highly unlikely we would get all that money granted to the city of North Platte but its primary for infrastructure projects so streets, water/sewer, repaving areas or expanding."
